<P><STRONG>I think Keely made it very clear. . . . a new roof on an existing building is maintenance. Period. It's not "new construction". A lot like mowing your lawn is not "landscaping". New tires and a wash job do not make a new vehicle.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>I have no problem understanding this.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>When you grow up and have a roof that falls on your head, you'll understand the importance of preventive maintenace.</STRONG></P>

But then, you knew that.<BR><BR>"M & O budget" refers
to -- hold on to your coffee, everyone -- "Maintenance<BR>and Operations." Replacing a roof on
<DIV></DIV>part of an existing building is<BR>MAINTENANCE. It maintains the integrity of the building; it is not a<BR>remodel, and it certainly isn't new construction. It is exactly the use<BR>intended by our maintenance budget, which, while tight, is being used<BR>correctly in this example and throughout the district. No matter what kind<BR>of budget trimming Wenders would like to see, the District can't use M & O<BR>monies to build new buildings or significantly remodel existing ones. He<BR>knows that; the blog boys are counting on the ignorance of their reading<BR>audience.<BR><BR>It seems a safe bet.<BR><BR>Dale and his partner in defamation, Jack Wenders, can crow all they want to<BR>about the horror of public schools, but they are not free to lie to their<BR>readers about the District and about me. (And he even spelled my
name wrong<BR>-- it's "K E E L Y," Dale -- which is amazing, given the number of times<BR>he's lied about me in print). I'm coming to the end of my
<DIV></DIV>tenure as a<BR>trustee, and I'm proud of the work I've done. Dale and I will no doubt<BR>engage in argument in the future, although he's evidently not brave enough<BR>to challenge me directly, evincing a cowardice that even my perennial critic<BR>Donovan Arnold won't stoop to. Donovan may think I'm scum, but he says it<BR>to me via Vision, and for that he gets a point in my book. But however Dale<BR>gets his jollies blogging hours a day about all manner of things, usually<BR>cribbed from other sources, he won't find that it goes unchallenged when he<BR>lies about me or the District. That goes beyond covenant lying, Dale, and<BR>isn't remotely clever enough to qualify as "Trinitarian skylarking."<BR><BR>When all is said and done, it's just plain ol' lying, and its "neener,<BR>neener, neener" quality will receive a much more adult
response than I<BR>suspect he and the boys want to handle.<BR><BR>Go play now, Dale -- but try to repent before your 10 a.m. worship
